Thursday night. People have work the next day and they're not going to hang around to watch that. After halftime I went to the bar and watched from there, but really it was just a distraction in the background as I caught up with mates I hadn't seen in a long time. Was a miserable effort and I could...

Hopefully if he does they overcommit with early draft picks. We couldn't have treated him any better tbh. Never seen such a golden run given to a young player with so little given back.

Let's hope he signs quickly - with any other club. Slow, can't take a mark and unskilled by foot. An absolute dud. I've been saying this for awhile. People keep telling me he's talented. My question is, what is it particularly I'm missing that will mean he will explode before our eyes. He's not qui...

Yes absolutely. Delivery is a cop out for the poor showing we saw tonight and for far too long. Can't spread the defensive structure. Can't win a contested ball at ground level. Can't keep it inside 50 once it gets in there. Talent...you need it to execute... We have talent. It's clear that the lis...

His first 3 games were all very good. His last 2 not so. Hardly a trend

Green head slammed young GC defender Mac’s head into the turf. Arms pinned and completely helpless his head cannoned into the ground Worth 2 Playing StKilda this week tax he is FREE to play Shocked What is it exactly you’re suggesting?

If you look back in the last 20 years, twice we’ve had eras of domination in the fwd 50. 04/05, Riewoldt and Gehrig. 09 Roo and Kosi ( especially first half of 09) When there is two bona fide tall fwds it’s so much harder to cover. So, I’m not sure the problem is Max, its Members, Owens, Sharman or ...

Curious why MB and one other had pou in their votes? Still doing nothing for mine. Picks wrong options, ( last quarter missing Members standing in goal square in his own a classic example) His kicking and handpassing rarely creative. In fact appears to have lost penetration in his kicking and his on...

Caminiti still runs around like a headless chook, he doesn’t have much forward craft, he basically needs the ball to fall in his lap. He had 2 good bits of play in a 5 minute period where he hung into a good grab, and had a good tackle. Sharman got moved into the forward line and took 2 great marks...

Good windy will get booked as well looking at footage. Haven't seen the news. Has that occurred?

I'm curious about the love for Marshall's game? 1st quarter was sensational. But we were SLAUGHTERED in the ruck and as the game wore on their big men just took over the game. Roma got caught completely unaware in the last quarter when he was clear and could have driven it deep fwd. In the 3rd quart...

I find the lack of news about contract signing a tad concerning…we are showing faith….playing him…coach loves him …I don’t get the hold up We went through the same thing with NWM - Second year, players typically want to establish themselves a little more to up their contract. Can’t say I’m all that...

Moods: "The only player in recent years who has made us look silly with trades is Acres." I wouldn't have said so. He's a bit like Guerra: he was deservedly moved on by us and only blossomed later on (in the case of Acres, only after being moved on by a second club). And he's not exactly ...

As I’ve posted before, some of the negativity towards Billings on here verges on the pathological. How dare he not turn out to be as good as the Bont! F___ him! I hope he just keeps going better and better at Melbourne (except when they play us) and continues to get up your noses. The only people m...

All yours Sainter dad. Doesn't appear anyone else is interested. So if you want them they're yours. I'll pm you

Yep afraid so. I have daughter's in the demographic who often see footballers out and about not too concerned about what they are doing and who's watching them. Occasionally I'm disheartened to hear a Saints player's name, but thankfully not too often.

Actually no it wasn’t. Finally a coach that saw past the fraud like reputation Billings had that he was an elite kick, and realised not only is he an average kick but he doesn’t impact games. Right now he’s doing well at Dees ( and good luck to him) but it was unfair on Jack to hold onto him. He was...

For this weekend's game Saints v Essendon. Level 2 Aisle 10, Row H. $50 for the whole lot. The seats will be next to me, my wife and my best mate so seats must go to Saints supporters, preferably one eyed. Please don't buy if on sale to bombers fans. If interested pm me and also reply on here so I k...

I think the real question is why are Dees paying half of Jack’s salary? Why did he go at basically the afterthoughts of the draft last year? I mean surely the other clubs with all their professional talent scouts someone as well as Melbourne would have wanted him ? The fact of the matter is no one r...

When he started last year he was incredibly good at getting to the front of the pack and marking. But that seems to have disappeared from his game now. Maybe it’s opponents working him out or maybe it’s different tactics from us. I think different tactics - we started him as a forward - with the ba...

Are you saying Billings has never played a good game against good opposition? Not sure I agree with that? I just look at his body of work over 160 games as a HF/wing And his numbers stack up It’s a bit like the false narrative that he is soft lol. Well he’s definitely not hard. Billings is definite...

Yeah was missing for most of last night, I don't think a short run in the 2s would do him any harm, let him dominate a bit at a lower level and gain some confidence. He was pick 10, not pick 50. I fail to see just what his AFL level strengths are. He's too short for a key position player these days...

Sorry just saw other thread. Mods lock this one please

Some elbow off the ball. Bloody hell

Wish he wouldn’t try those screw kicks from more than 30m out. Otherwise a fantastic small fwds game and massive improvement on last week
